Basella rubra - strictly not a spinach at all, but loosely related and tastes like spinach when cooked. Sow late March-May. Harvest July-September.

Ideal for beds and borders. HEALTH BENEFITS: High in beta-carotene, and lutein, (can protect against age-related eye diseases), and dietary fibre. High in vitamins A & C. CULINARY TIPS: Eat raw or lightly steamed (cooking can remove antioxidant properties).
